In another epic display of narcissism and egomania, Obama used his last weekly address of 2016 to praise his achievements and signal his intention to actively protect his legacy. Why Obama thinks the American people care about maintaining his legacy when we have done everything in our power to reject it by voting President-elect Trump into office is beyond me. It seems America is not losing a president – it’s gaining a national community organizer.

Obama has repeatedly indicated his intentions to remain in Washington and to remain actively involved in U.S. politics – unlike all of his predecessors that have had the common courtesy to leave and allow new leadership to transition. Nope, Obama won’t do that. He has to stomp his feet and scream, “I’M STILL RELEVANT!” at the top of his voice.

Obama addressed his supporters telling them he intended to use his time in Washington to defend the Democrats’ agenda.

Directly from Obama’s speech –

“And as I prepare to take on the even more important role of citizen, know that I will be there with you every step of the way to ensure that this country forever strives to live up to the incredible promise of our founding – that all of us are created equal, and all of us deserve every chance to live out our dreams.”

Obama previously announced back in March, his intentions of remaining in Washington with his family for a few years to allow daughter Sasha to finish school, stating that transferring in the middle of high school is tough. Since that announcement the Obamas have already arranged for housing in Washington’s upscale Kalorama neighborhood.

“I promise you that next year Michelle and I are going to be right there with you, and the clouds are going to start parting and the sun is going to come back out, and we’re going to be busy, involved in the amazing stuff that we’ve been doing all these years before.”

President-elect Trump has been busy at work assembling an impressive team of advisers and potential cabinet officials. They have plans to target federal regulations that have proven to stagnate economic growth. The stock market has jumped post-election in anticipation of a much more favorable business climate. Obamacare and Obama’s climate change policies are the primary targets set for initial elimination.

There have been rumors that Obama was considering a digital media career when he left the presidency. However, the White House has denied. It fed into Obama’s own criticism of so-called “fake news” made in a November speech at the University of Pittsburgh.

“It used to be there were three television stations and Walter Cronkite is on there and not everybody agreed, and there were always outliers who thought that it was all propaganda, and we didn’t really land on the Moon, and Elvis is still alive, and so forth. But, generally, that was in the papers that you bought at the supermarket right as you were checking out. And generally, people trusted a basic body of information …“

“But there has to be, I think, some sort of way in which we can sort through information that passes some basic truthiness tests and those that we have to discard because they just don’t have any basis in anything that’s actually happening in the world. And that’s hard to do, but I think it’s going to be necessary, it’s going to be possible. I think the answer is obviously not censorship, but it’s creating places where people can say, this is reliable and I’m still able to argue about – safely – about facts and what we should do about it while still – not just making stuff up.”

If Obama is forsaking the idea of his own media venture to protect his legacy, he can always take a page out of President-elect Trump’s book and use social media such as Twitter, which President Trump will most certainly be using to rally support for dismantling it.
